Celebrate Beauty in Iowa 2013 – Professional Competition Winner

Heather Mohr – It was so exciting and fun being a competitor in the professional

Affiliate #16 “Mane Event” competitiion. I was so happy to win 1^st place. I

really encourage more professional stylists to enter the

competition next year. Competing makes you a better stylist

and it’s great for your business too. When people and clients

know you’ve participated in competition, it builds trust and

respect in your abilities. I am so glad

CBI has brought a

Professional competition to State convention. I look forward

to it every year.

ICE Design Team 2013 – “The Trifecta Collection” is the trend this team of 3 ICE

designer and teacher. Promoting

CBI, ICE and the Team has been

such an honor. Thank you ICE for having Melanie, Holly and

myself as the Design Team.

Melanie Brons #16 – Being a part of the design team is always hard work, but

ultimately is a very fun and rewarding experience. The most

challenging part of this design team was coming up with the theme of

where our ideas were coming from/going to. Once we established the

name of “Trifecta Collection”, things came together very nicely. We

would bounce ideas back and forth and come up with solutions and

suggestions. The rewards of being on the design team come when

other stylists share with me how they have used the look we created

on a client, as well as the fun times and memories made with Jean and

Holly. Thanks to both of you for all your help and hard work for the

betterment of

CBI as well as the industry.

Important Information from IDPH - Barbering

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM

IOWA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH

At its meeting April 24th, the Iowa Board of Barbering affirmed they will not accept on-line continuing education credits through C.O.E. Continuing Education or any other on-line provider. To the board's knowledge, on-line continuing education has never been accepted for credit. Board members believe that face-to-face instruction in a class room setting is an invaluable part of the licensee's education and continuing education process.

The board will be reviewing their administrative rules regarding continuing education. However, until the board adopts new requirements for continuing education, on-line credits will not be accepted.

This information was provided to CBI by Susan Reynolds, Board Executive, Iowa Board of Barbering, Bureau of Professional Licensure. Please help distribute this information to anyone it may apply. Attached is the official letter form Ms. Reynolds. C.O.E CONTINUING EDUCATION WITH SIGNATURE.doc

CBI DIrector Kimberly Setzer

Kimberly Setzer has been active in numerous areas of cosmetology for over 26 years. Her experiences range from freelance makeup artistry to salon ownership to residing on the Iowa Board of Cosmetology. In addition to her creative work in cosmetology, Kimberly has also made an impact on her community by contributing her time as the President of the Algona Area Chamber of Commerce’s Ambassador organization and held a position with Kossuth County Economic Development as a Communications Board Member.

Her passion for creative cosmetology came to her early on. She earned her cosmetology degree in 1986 from IBA City College of Cosmetology and earned first place in the Kurl Kraze competition within her school’s competition in the Nails/Makeup Category. Kimberly’s professional career in makeup artistry began in 1998 when she joined the Technical Artist Group at Sebastian International in California. Kimberly also was an educator for Mirabella Cosmetics for several years. Kimberly found her talent in makeup artistry lent well into becoming an exceptional stylist of both hair and nails. She founded her first business, Nails by Kim, while simultaneously renting booth space at Styles Salon. Here she would build a substantial clientele while learning more about business operations of a salon.

Allure Salon opened for business in 2004, with Kimberly’s array of talents now including hair styling and coloring alongside nails and makeup artistry. Her devotion to education and training led her to become appointed to the Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences in 2006 where she is currently Chairman of the Board . Kimberly also has been an active part of Cosmetolotist and Barbers of Iowa and holds a Director postion on the board. This commitment to education did not deter her business or drive to excel, as Allure Salon was 1^st runner up in Nail Magazine’s “Salon of the Year” in 2006.

Kimberly continues to exceed her client’s expectations by continuously learning new techniques in both hair and makeup artistry. As a member of the Iowa Cosmetologists Educators organization, Kimberly also provides educational opportunities to other makeup artists through educational events, thru private or group instruction.

In Kimberly's free time she likes to decorate, landscape and flower gardens. Kimberly resides in Algona Iowa.

CBI Director Jae Godden

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 15:23:03 GMT

Jae Ella Godden..... I love to be where creativity flows and my surroundings are exciting. I get inspiration from other beauty professionals and love anything to do with hair, make-up and the beauty industry.

I was born and raised in Spencer Iowa. Ten years after graduating high school I decided to go to cosmetology school.

I graduated from Faust Institute of Cosmetology in 1993. I have been employed at Design Masters Salon and Day Spa since graduation. I have been a member of the National Cosmetology Association (NCA) since 1993, a member of Cosmetologists and Barbers of Iowa (CBI) since 2006, and have held all positions on CBI The Great Affiliate 16 Board. I am currently a director on the state board of CBI and a member of

IowaCosmetology Educators (ICE) since 2008. I have been teaching and assisting with teaching for ten plus years. I love learning and sharing knowledge with others that have the same passion for beauty. I was also a stylist on the ICE Design Team for 2011 collection “American Made”.

I was always very shy and just observed others from a distance. Through my life I overcame most of my shyness. I couldn’t have done this without the help of Joyce Smith the former owner of Design Masters Salon and Day Spa. Joyce had confidence in me, she knew I could do it, but did I? Together we would go to community colleges and teach. She was the voice and I assisted and finished styling, coloring, or being a comedian if needed. I’ve become the person Joyce knew I could be---let the sky be my limit. I want to pass this onto other stylists that I come in contact with.

I have to give thanks to NCA,

CBI& ICE and all the friends that I have made being a member of such great professional organizations.

Thank you,

Sincerely yours,

Jae Ella (Jae) Godden

CND Shellac

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 19:36:27 GMT

Submitted by Michi Rees, ICE Chairman

Weather you are a long time nail wearer or an all natural girl, Shellac has something for you. As a Cosmetolgist that does nails, I'm always looking for new and advanced products and Shellac is it!!!

Shellac is a gell polish that needs no pre-filling of the natural nail to adhere. Therefore it is a great product for those clients who don't want to wear artificial nails but like the wear their polish has with nails. It is also great for those who want to give up their nails and go natural because the product adds extra strength to the nails.

This product also has endless possibilities for nail art. Weather you are doing a two tone color combo, engravingm or adding glitter this is a great product.

The product comes in many colors and colors can also be layered to create more color choices. The product is easy to use, just apply like nail enamel and cure under a UV light as directed. Even if you don't do nails you can master this! So give it a try!

Thanks Michi Rees

Secretary/Treasurer Becky Brockmann

Hi - I'm Becky Brockmann your CBI current Secretary/Treasurer and will tell you a little about me for this site.

I was born in Spencer, Iowa and lived my childhood at Everly where I graduated.
After completing training from Stewart's Beauty School in Sioux City where I won the annual styling competition, I took THE TEST. Out of 1000 who took it, I was one of the lucky 300 that passed and went on to Paullina, Iowa to take over a salon for a woman who joined her husband in the National Guard. Across the street was a plumber who one day came over to check my pipes and marriage and a home at Hartley followed along with three beautiful daughters.

I opened Shear Delight Beauty Shop in my home at Hartley and am still working there as time permits. I have held many offices in NCA of Iowa including State President, CBI currently Sec/Treas and all offices numerously for my local affiliate. I served on the Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences for 7 years, 6 as Vice Chairman and then elected Chairman. Because of these attainments, my world has become very big and I don't have any limitations as a professional cosmetologist.

Traveling all states has afforded me many acquaintances that will be cherished forever. I am currently Region 2 Director on the National Board for the National-Interstate Council of States Boards of Cosmetology which is a very interesting position, and also as National Legislative Chairman, I am in contact with all states reporting changes and updates. I must tell you IOWA is in the forefront on all issues and continues to add vital information at the National conferences.

Living in the country affords me many joys including animals and gardens. It creates a wonderful past time that is helpful when working out problems and frustrations that may occur, Also being very close to my daughters and my 93 year old Mother keeps me humble and thankful for my wonderful Christian roots.

Thanks Becky

Vice President Jean Boss

The highlights of my life have been many, so where to begin. My career has taken me places I never thought possible and it keeps on happening. My husband who silently supports my work, my son, who I'm more than proud of, and all the friends that have been made through the years. Beng involved in local, state and national hair shows, has been my whole life. Hair Worlds, State and National design teams, competing, educating, and each committee I have served, have been a learning experience. I love my profession and all the people that are always there to help and support in every way.Thank you Jean

Facts and updates from the Cosmetology state board office

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:07:32 GMT

Here is some information from Rosemary Bonano the Clerk Specialist for the Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences.

A copy of the current rules and regulations are now available online. Some of the changes were included in Chapter 157, Code of Iowa:

•- Threading is now included and defined in the scope of practice for a cosmetologist and esthetician licensee. So if you see any of those kiosks in malls providing eyebrow threading, they’ve been notified that a license is required. They can obtain a copy of the current code and rules by visiting our website at www.idph.state.ia.us/licensure
•- There are a few building requirement changes also regarding the flooring in a new salon 63.22(2). This is now listed in the rules.
•-
•- Since we are currently going through an audit session, you may wish to remind licensees the importance of obtaining copies of their ceu’s after each class they attend AND that they are taking the courses within their required biennium. They need to hold onto the ceu certificates in case they are ever audited by the board.
•- A rule change is underway regarding the process in the way licensees will be notified regarding renewals. The board office will no longer issue a postcard as a reminder through the mail at the time of renewal. However, I don’t believe this will affect next year’s renewals for licensees or the salon renewals of 2012. They will be doing email notifications from the board office’s new computer system when it goes into effect. This could be another year or so. So they will probably receive a postcard for next year’s renewal.

First segment for CBI

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 19:49:13 GMT

This is a new endeavor for CBI so I hope you will like it - we will be adding new things periodically so keep checking to see what is new - also if anyone has something you would like to see put on here that is of interest to our profession please contact me at bec@tcaexpress.net. Thanks and happy reading. :)

As a new addition to our web page we are adding along with news and accomplishments of our members, news concerning our professions, and any other interesting information, a profile about some of our members. As President, I got elected to be first, so here goes.

Bonnie Hokinson Renda, was born and grew up on a farm near Clarion, IA. I attended a one room school through the sixth grade. What an awesome, carefree, and blessed childhood I had. I wish everyone could make that statement; our world would certainly be a happier place.

After graduation, I moved to the big city of Des Moines to attend Americana Academy of Beauty with two of my best friends. We lived in a house with 6 other students of

Americanathat was owned by Tonini’s Funeral Home. Mr. Tonini chauffeured us to and from school each day in the limos. It was an exciting time and educational in more ways than one. I won’t get into that.

My first job was with an incredible man and wife in their home salon, Press Spillers Salon, which is now where Richard Sheriff lives and has his salon. Small world!

After getting married, having a baby, Angela, moving around the country, I came back to Des Moines. I worked at JCPenney’s in downtown for 6 years and then helped open the new JCP salon at Valley West Mall as manager in 1977. Worked there for a challenging 10 ½ years before deciding it was time to move on.

After working for a friend in her salon, The Upper Cut, Ann and I opened “ABoutique on 5^th” in Valley Junction, West Des Moines. We continued the salon and boutique until the flood of 1993 which put a halt to the boutique, We were burnt out by then doing both businesses, I loved the boutique and all it’s perks, jewelry, purses, clothes, and etc but my heart was still in my cosmetology profession.

I’ve been an independent contractor for 15 years and am now semi-retired. I love my salon, Studio 409 in West Des Moines and all the awesome stylists I work with. I can’t imagine not “doing hair” and not seeing all my clients (more like family). I listen to my friends complain about their jobs and once in a while I’ll say out loud “I love my job!” Otherwise, I just smile and know I’m a pretty lucky person.

I first joined NCA while working for JCP, which they encouraged. I enjoyed the meetings and was an officer in #6 for several years. After leaving JCP, I lost membership for awhile but rejoined some years later. I soon had held all the offices in our affiliate at one time or another and then became State President in 2009. This office has been the most incredible thing I have ever done. It has required me to do things I never thought I could possibly do. The friendships I have made across the state are priceless and hope to have forever. It is a lot of work but the rewards are many and I hope we can keep our association growing and become even better. Thank you all for giving me the encouragement to continue and be a better person. I love you all. God Bless!
